This font uses sharp, faceted strokes with pronounced angle cuts and wedge-like terminals, creating a chiseled, blackletter-leaning skeleton. Letterforms are generally narrow with brisk vertical emphasis, while diagonals and curves are simplified into polygonal segments. Contrast is strongly apparent in the way thick stems pair with hairline joins and pointed entry/exit strokes, giving many glyphs a blade-like profile. The lowercase is compact with a notably short x-height and tall ascenders, and overall spacing feels rhythmic but not strictly uniform, contributing to a hand-drawn print character.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It fits fantasy and horror packaging, game and tabletop RPG materials, band or event posters, and themed UI elements where a dramatic, medieval atmosphere is desired.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, with a medieval, spellbook-like flavor. Its sharp corners and daggered terminals add tension and drama, making the text feel ominous, fantastical, and slightly aggressive rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered blackletter and carved inscription aesthetics while remaining clean and print-like in construction. Its consistent beveling and sharp terminals prioritize mood and character over neutral readability, positioning it as an expressive display face.
Counters are often tight and angular, and several characters rely on distinctive notches and cut-ins that read well at display sizes but can create sparkle in longer passages. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with octagonal and beveled shapes that reinforce the engraved look.
